A quick correct pilot action would have prevented both accidents. The whole reason that MCAS, even in its previous certainly faulty version, was approved was the fact, that there is always the possibility for the pilot to stop a runaway stabilizer by using the cut-off switches. Which was done only just before the second crash, but to late and they were flying too fast, so they struggled to manually correct the trim.
While the accidents were certainly caused by MCAS activating in error, there was at least a chance of preventing them.

Self driving is all about convenience and costs[1] and as such it's not necessary, nor is it advisable, to inflict the bleeding edge on the general public. Waymo's geofenced approach is less bad than Tesla's, and it's something that regulators can readily work with also.

1. But teh safeties!1! No. Just no. ADASes (advanced driver assistance systems), particularly autonomous emergency braking, remove the safety argument for self driving. With ADASes you have 95% or more of the (asserted) safety of self driving, and ADASes are available today, on a large and increasing range of cars. There are even retrofit kits.

Sure, but the assumption is py3 devs do the work in order to dismiss the idea and suggest people are entitled.

Yes you can, if "maintaining" is handing it off, as opposed to the straw man of forcing py3 devs to do it. Why do the gatekeepers only allow for themselves to do the work?

I don't think that argument is entirely valid. I do see the concern. This is about implementation.

There are about 60k people who are homeless in LA, of which 48% are sleeping in the streets. so around 29k

Compare that to london where something like 10k, but the population is double that of LA. That figure has tripled in ten years, because we have cut back on programmes to treat the causes of homelessness.

So it is perfectly possible to tackle homelessness and stop people dying on the streets.

In rich countries, especially those with the "all lives matter" mindset, It is reprehensible that we are letting people live in the open on the streets.

If JSON is transported through any intermediate processor, you have to assume they're translating them to floats and back again. If you treat them as arbitrary decimals, you have to expect that data is being silently corrupted.

And this includes intermediate processors that are invoked manually, so if someone uses a command like jq to simply test something, numbers are being truncated and they're baffled as to why they're getting different results.

Of course they would be involved. But they would not attack China directly.

Yes, I'm aware that Racket is mainly education and research platform; that's exactly what I said in my previous post.

Racket is not well-suited for practical web-programming. Proof: For Python or Ruby, there are dozens of books explaining how to write web applications in them. But there's not a single good book for Racket (not just for web programming, but for anything).

Racket's authors use racket for their academic jerk-offs, but don't fog our eyes and tell us it's a practical language for real programmers, when it isn't.

The whole nation is failing the homeless population. No state or city can address large public welfare issues without it becoming a budget problem due to ability for taxpayers to move out and benefit recipients to move in.

Exactly this. Wolt is such a great experience compared to Foodora, Uber Eats etc here in Sweden. Time estimations are most often spot on if location is no more than a few kilometers away. Recently they started supporting real pictures of dishes, rather than the fake hamburger or pizza banners in other services.
I don't see how your comment is a response to what you're quoting.

Most of the homeless in California live in the cities with the highest cost of living. Are you suggesting the state transport the homeless to low cost areas and rent them apartments?
Around here (Tel Aviv), Wolt is pretty much a monopoly on food deliveries, to the point restaurants pled for the government regulator to declare them as such.

Obviously it happens because their product and UX is fantastic.

My personal belief is that single computers themselves are worthless. Their connectivity and the possibility to exchange knowledge and experiences is what makes them so much more efficient than humans (at least in those tasks we automated already) - or when used as an interface - so efficient as an information management tool.

In order to reach a superintelligence level we need to solve the automation of gathering, evaluation and improvement of knowledge first.

And by automation, I don't mean wikis or something you can find via google. Wikis and the web currently are built for humans, not machines. If we are able to automate the semantic knowledge behind it and transfer it to neural networks, we will have limitless capabilities.

I remember asking if they charged extra for sports cars because they could.

I was told that they were actually pretty accurately priced.

The only time actuarial tables did not reflect reality was after a car accident. Statistically after an accident drivers are much safer, but the insurance fees (have to) go up.

Why doesn't Cloudflare buy GTT? They can easily afford to.
I used to work on this stuff, years ago. It seems arbitrary and harsh but makes sense in cold engineering terms.

The purpose of an account lockout is either:

1. Stop a clear abuser from trashing the network, e.g. by sending spam that will get Google IPs blacklisted (yes this happens, there are no special breaks for Google).

2. Challenge an account in such a way that false positives have a chance to 'clear their name' by doing things that serial abusers have difficulty with, like passing phone verification or in the good old days, solving CAPTCHAs.

Virtually all responses to service violations in the consumer world are (2). They're automated, people pass the challenge when they log in and never think about it again so you just don't hear about it.

Corporate services pose special problems. Companies expect to be able to automatically create large numbers of accounts using APIs, which is something not allowed for consumer accounts. The latter are carefully monitored, throttled, and ultimately the services may just refuse to let you create an account. Tough cookies. That doesn't work for GSuite domains where the administration is devolved, so what happens when spammers notice this and create such domains then add lots of users at once? Yes they're meant to pay, but some abusers can get past CC fraud checks and other mechanisms that would otherwise make this approach too expensive.

Unfortunately the rapid, automated nature of abuse means that the response also has to be rapid and automated. It's not as easy as saying, hmm, foobar.com looks suspicious, let's get a trained expert to mount an investigation. By the time the specialist has woken up and got into the office the attack is over already and you sent 10 million spams or hosted 50,000 phishing sites. That's the flip side of very scalable systems with convenient signup, in which the admins don't suffer any consequences of abuse they proxy or allow (i.e. when you buy GSuite part of what you're buying is Google's spam reputation). That's also why these stories so often resolve with an ending like "A googler got in touch and we're back in now". This creates the impression that the only way to get support is to flag it up on Hacker News or Twitter. That's sometimes true for consumer services where getting people to look at your case is harder but for companies with support contracts, it's often just due to the time lag involved between someone doing a manual investigation and resolving it.
There is not much of a network effect on search engines. Nothing is stopping you from using DuckDuckGo instead of Google, it doesn't matter what the "average Joe" uses.

> You can use additional money to do basically do poverty relief programs on the medium and long term homeless and from a humanity point of view that's really important - but I don't know of any programs that have consistently shown reintegrated of these populations. That is, they are working other than in services aimed at the homeless population.

I feel like you've created your own definition of "homeless" and are using that to say that schemes to prevent homelessness are not working.

When you look at official definitions (eg, "statutory homeless") you see much greater "churn" in the homeless population. Many people become homeless, are helped, and stop being homeless. There are a smaller number of people who are trapped in vulnerable housing or in hostels or rough sleeping.

I'm not suggesting the support is good though. There are many problems in England. For example, the way that people are forced to be evicted before councils provide help, or the use of very expensive and very low quality B&B accommodation.

I think there's some truth to this. But rampant individualism also makes society weaker. It reduces a societies ability to collaborate.
A hypothetical system would actually function almost exactly the same as the much derided MCAS. If angle of attack sensors indicate an inappropriate angle of ascent/descent, overcompensate for or override the pilot inputs.

As we've learned at great cost, angle of attack sensors are wrong more often than pilots are homicidal though, which is part of the reason why the form of intelligence used to deter and attempt to prevent obviously deadly pilot actions is a lump of meat called a copilot.

I think the case is simple here: Racket community was not capable of producing good programming language, so instead they decided to take someone else's better implementation: they decided to abandon the years and years of their efforts, because they realized that Kent Dybvig (a real hero i this story!) was better than all of them. That's why they decided to take his Chez scheme and parasitate on his effort.

The very fact that they did this tells us a lot about Racket's community “achievements”!

If there are multiple players in the market, they will either try to buy or kill the new players. Established incumbents are often not nimble enough to quickly match the newbies. If the newbies move fast and corner an important market segment, they can either replace the incumbent or be bought out by them. Both are opportunities where investors could reap big returns.
